Professor William Cobb, a professor of History here at this University is presenting a unique opportunity for students to become involved in an academic research project called "The Vietnam Era Oral History Project." Cobb's interest in the Vietnam Era stems from his military background. His father was involved in WWII, the Korean War and even commanded an army of 7,000 men in Vietnam. Cobb himself became involved with the military after dropping out of college and was drafted. While in the military, his best friend died in a car accident and that incident led him to volunteer for service in Vietnam. However, "it was a result of being drafted and going to Vietnam that led me to want to pursue a career in history," Cobb said.

Now, with this project, he is giving students an opportunity to ask the same questions and relive history in a way that is not offered in textbooks or even videos. For his master's thesis Cobb did an oral history project similar to the one he is doing here now. He was interested in knowing what other veterans' experiences were, as well as those of anyone who had an association with the Vietnam era. For this project, veterans will Andrea LindgrenUVU Review be interviewed. As students listen and learn from all of them, they will be able to visualize the experiences and come to their own conclusions about Vietnam. "There is no other way to understand the past than to listen to people who were there at the time. The best stories you can read about Vietnam are the stories that emerge when you sit down with a veteran, microphone in hand, and ask, 'Tell me what happened'," Cobb said.
